While it is currently in beta maybe you could also try 9.3 and verify that the shared memory update works or eliminates this configuration? No need for any complication. Pg will work just fine by following this simple recipe. I compute a UID unique to the overall system by concatenating 70 (the natural UID for the pgsql user user in FBSD) and the last 3 digits of the Jails'IP, but you can come up with any numbering scheme as long as it's consistent and easily associated to a specific jail. For example for the Pg running on jail 192.168.101.124, install PostgreSQL and before doing anything else: pw usermod pgsql -u 70124 pw groupmod pgsql -g 70124 pw usermod pgsql -g 70124 chown -R pgsql /usr/local/pgsql/ chgrp -R pgsql /usr/local/pgsql/ Any other application that uses SYSV IPC should follow a similar recipe, and it's compatible with al versions of Jails. And that's it. I have dozens of jails with Pg running this way. Likewise also make sure all of your network daemons listen _specifically_ to that jail's IP, in Pg that would be postgresql.conf: listen_addresses = 'xx' although the default 'localhost' should work most of the time. Always double check all daemons with sockstat (e.g. sockstat -4l) to make sure they only listen on that jail's IP(s).

Re: FreeBSD on ThinkPad W530
Hi! Yay another FreeBSD laptop user! Please do this: * join the freebsd-mobile list; * create PRs for each of your problems with -10 above!; * the power utilisation thing is going to be fun to track down - what kind of CPU is in there? Is it a recent Intel? I'm playing around with their tools at the moment; maybe we can look at the power the CPU is consuming and then add on the power from each of the other parts in your laptop until we figure out what's drawing said power * the brightness thing is known; a bunch of us have this issue and the fix is known. Trouble is, there's no (yet) clean fix that's made it into acpi_ibm. I'm glad there's another person who cares; it means we have more chance of getting a real fix that works for multiple people into the tree. As for suspend/resume - I'm glad it at least works for you. Right now I don't even get video output upon resume. But, it's a starting point. Let's get the PRs filed, the brightness thing pushed into -HEAD, and then start down the path of figuring out where the power consumption is coming from. -adrian On 13 August 2013 15:21, vermaden verma...@interia.pl wrote: Hi, I have just tried FreeBSD on ThinkPad W530 and I must say that its very disapointing experience ...

The FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT was able to boot successfully and I could install FreeBSD onto the drive with 'ZFS Madnss' style. After installation with extended battery charged to 100% I have about 3 hours of work ... while having about 10 hours on Windows (haven't tried Linux yet). I disabled discrete graphics (Nvidia) in the BIOS and also added set hw.pci.do_power_nodriver to 3, but that also did not solved the 'battery' problem. The powerd daemon was of course running and worked ok. After compiling new x11/xorg (with WITH_NEW_XORG in /etc/make.conf) along with x11-wm/openbox I was able to get X11 working, but I can not go back to console as its not implemented yet. The screen is 100% bright all the time because acpi_ibm module probably does not support this model yet (changing the dev.acpi_ibm.0.lcd_brightness is pointless, no effects). Suspend and resume works very poor, after resume the resolution is 640x640 with all colors broken, requires restarting X11 in 'blind mode' (not implemented console switching). Of course as all of the above is not possible, using the Nvidia Optimus technology (graphics card switching) is probably also not possible, which is possible with Bumblebee on Linux, any plans on merging that functionality into FreeBSD? At least WiFi and LAN worked out of the box ... Now ... how can I help, what information can I provide to help resolve these issues: 1. disable power for discrete graphics card 2. have working screen brightness changing and working other Fn + X shotrcuts 3.

It should boot into a text mode installer. After installation, FreeBSD usually boots into a text mode (depending on what has been installed and configured already). Questions are: A.) Is Xwindows, (X11) included on the DVD copy? If I remember correctly, the required packages are part of the DVD #1. If you are already connected to the Internet, you can use that medium as installation source. Just a side note: PC-BSD, a system derived from FreeBSD, offers a graphical installer and a more tight integration with GUI-centric concepts (installs X automatically and even brings a desktop environment preinstalled). B.) If included, what command is used to start it? It depends. If you want to start X from a regular login shell, startx is used. But a display manager which maintains a GUI login (like xdm) can also be used. See the handbook for more details: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html And don't miss the excellent FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/ C.) What shell is installed as the standard shell in command line mode? FreeBSD's default dialog shell is the C Shell (more precisely, the tcsh). The command shell in single user mode (maintenance mode) is a plain Bourne-alike shell (sh), which is also the systems default scripting shell. You can install shells like ksh, zsh and bash if you like. D.) Is there a site that I can download a complete copy of the documentation for Free-BSD, as one file and not a series/set of separate files? Not that I know of, because the documentation on the web is primarily for use with a web browser, that's why it's hierarchically designed and separated. However, the documentation is part of the FreeBSD installation, and you can generate PS and PDF book, as _one_ (voluminous) file, from them (even though I've never tried that). You can use a tool like wget to download a copy of the web documentation for offline use (keeping the mentioned separation). The web pages contain a Split HTML and Single HTML option, so you could maybe simply save this web page http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.html for the FAQ, and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html for The FreeBSD Handbook, but it might be unhandy for printing. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I can imagine ports and pkg tools on FreeBSD complaining about missing TeX packages, and AFAIK Debian based Linux distributions will certainly complain (I think there is a workaround, but it involves messing with dpkg). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Wish I understood ZFS well enough to do something about that, but research suggests the problem is non-trivial. :( There also seems to be a separate ZFS issue related to having a very large number of snapshots (e.g. hourly for several months on a couple of filesystems). Some combination of the OS updates we've been doing trying to get this machine to 9.2-RC1 and deleting a ton of snapshots.

Re: Commercial Licensing
Greetings Someth, With FreeBSD you are free use as you see fit. Think of the BSD license in terms of 'Free' beer and not the freedom to look under the hood like some other mock free licenses. If this were not the case then Apple would not have been able to derive Mac OS X from FreeBSD and close the source of their product. The nature of the various FreeBSD licenses allow for you to do this with the exception of some newer versions of the license the include an anti relicensing clause which essentially prohibits you from taking a BSD licensed code based and relicensing it under one of the GPL versions. At this point those sorts of addendum's are rare but definitely becoming more popular. Ultimately there is not requirement that you give back to the BSD community in the form of your code additions however you are strongly encourage to do so, the choice is yours. Finally I would recommend consulting an IP attorney for a review of the current license just to ensure that everything is still as it was explained to me a long time ago by mine.

I would like to avoid the open source requirement of disclosing my codes to a public community. This requirement of disclosure isn't so much an open source thing, it's required by some popular licenses (like the GPL). The rather large group of people in software has groups that prefer restrictive licenses like the GPL, and other groups who prefer licenses with fewer restrictions. Be aware that FreeBSD isn't covered by a single license. Rather, it is made up of a large number of pieces of software that came from various sources over a lot of years. In general FreeBSD tries to avoid using those kinds of license that you are saying you want to avoid. But in the set of all software that make up FreeBSD there is still code left covered by it. With a little care you can avoid getting bitten by this. Which leads to my next point... If you can provide some information/direction in this regard, I would greatly appreciate it. I want to second the advice of talking to a lawyer who specializes in copyright. The lawyer should be working for you and paid by you (or your business, etc). Any time real money is involved you should hire a lawyer. Any time real money is involved you should hire a lawyer. Any time the outcome matters you should hire a lawyer.

If you are lucky you will find one or more offending extensions that you don't need and leave them commented out on uninstall them. If not, you would have to recompile/reinstall the offending extensions or portupgrade php and all extensions.

Not according to SMART; all the drives report no problems. Also, all the drives seem to perform in lock-step for both reading and writing. E.g. when one drive in an array is failing, all the drives may be pulling the same # of reads, but the failing drive will often report 100% busy and/or multi-second svc_t's and the others will sit at 4% with 20msec svc_t's or similar. In this case, it's acting like the disks are all hugely overloaded. Except without even the high svc_t's I typically associate with overworking an array. The speeds do fluctuate. Last night it was down to 64k/sec reads per drive (about 15 reads/sec) and still reporting 90% busy on all drives. It feels like some sort of issue with the bus/controller/kernel/driver/ZFS that is affecting all the drives equally. Also, even ls takes forever (10-30 seconds for ls -lh /) but when it eventually does finish, time ls -lh / reports: 0.02 real 0.00 user 0.00 sys Really not sure what to make of that. An attempt to do ps axlww | fgrep ls while the ls was running failed, because the ps hangs just as long as the ls. So it's like the system is just repeatedly putting anything that touches the disks on hold, even if all the data being requested is clearly in cache.

After I left, someone else made modifications to the system and things stopped working properly. A few months ago I was asked to try and get things working again. I discovered that all php scripts now generate a seg fault. I tried a simple hello world type program the actual code is : ?php echo test ? and the output was; testsegmentation fault The system is FreeBSD 8.2 and php 5.3 If anyone has any idea of what changes might have been made that could cause this, please let me know. My other thought was to try reinstalling / upgrading php.

In lieu of that I would seriously consider rebuilding php. After you get it working it would be worth also considering upgrading to 55. Also make a complete revision backup of the code and config files once you get it working, this will save a lot of hair if the company in question hires someone else to tweak things in the future… Cheers, Mikel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Where would I get that from? It's in up-coming 9.2-R (and present 9.2-* snapshots leading up to 9.2-R). You can snatch a copy of the code by installing sysutils/bsdconfig from the ports tree. However, the port is marked (correctly-so) as requiring FreeBSD 9.0 or higher. But don't let that stop you... the only reason it's marked as requiring 9.0 is because 9.0 brings in a new dialog(1) implementation. However, if you're interested in the TCP validation code... that will work on any release. It's only the dialog(1) stuff that won't work on 8.x or older. Luckily, it'll be pretty easy to avoid the land-mines. All functions starting with f_dialog_* should be avoided on 8.x or older. So here's the latest package to download (in case you're unsuccessful in getting the port to behave -- afterall, it may just balk at you for not running 9.x): fetch http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/bsdconfig/bsdconfig-0.9.0.tbz That's a FreeBSD package. You can download it and say (as root): pkg_add bsdconfig-0.9.0.tbz Just be forewarned (again), on 8.x or older, executing bsdconfig will have widely unexpected results (it won't eat your homework, but it may or may not actually *run*). However, doing the above 2-step (fetch pkg_add) will bring in the files you're looking for and give you the functionality you're wanting on 8.x. -- Devin P.S. I really *can't* make the dialog(1) stuff backward compatible with 8.x's (or any older's) version of dialog(1). The new `cdialog' variant that was brought into 9.x to replace the aging dialog(1)/libdialog pair is has a *lot* of functionality that I depend on. It could potentially take months to make bsdconfig *fully* backward compatible with 8.x. For now, it's safe if you just use the libraries and avoid any/all functions beginning with f_dialog_. _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

Re: Update /usr/src with subversion
Ok great, thanks Matthew. I tried a different search query and actually found a similar question on the forums: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=35014 Your solution looks a bit cleaner than the one proposed there: rm -r /usr/src/.svn, and then check out the new branch. I'll check out the man for svn switch. Thanks again, -David On 8/5/13, Matthew Seaman matt...@freebsd.org wrote: On 05/08/2013 09:00, David Noel wrote: Does anyone know how a workaround for having to rm -rf /usr/src every time the source URL changes?

Re: AMD Phenom II X4 temperature issues (was Re: hardware monitor)

I once had several thermal shutdowns on my home PC before I found that. This does not seem to happen with newer heatsinks so they must have changed the design somehow =) I had a AMD Phenom II X4 and it had exactly that problem. Every few months I had to remove the fan to get a brush into the fins. An idle temperature of 45 C sounds about right for one that's been neglected. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
